WORK IT OUT: Managing Current Workplace Risks Associated with Substance Abuse
Recognizing the need to manage risks associated with substance abuse isn't new for most companies. But keeping current with new risks -- marijuana legalization, prescription (Rx) drug abuse and our county's heroin epidemic, and the increasing number of applicants and employees who are failing drug tests - can be a challenge. Allison Sharer, Senior Trainer at Working Partners®, will explore these new trends and share information about how companies can best respond.
Objectives:
Raise awareness about three current drug trends currently impacting the workplace:
Rx drug/heroin abuse
Increased rates of positive tests
Legalized marijuana
Describe how these three trends impact workplace operations
Identify employers' best practice strategies to protect their workplace operations
Raise awareness about available resources to support DFWP efforts
